When a user wishes to transfer tokens from one blockchain to another, the tokens are burned on the origin chain and minted again on the destination chain. This process is <strong>supervised by independent Chainlink nodes<\/strong>, which ensure the secure and accurate transmission of events between blockchains. In this way, <strong>USDM supply consistency is maintained<\/strong>, preserving transaction integrity and fund security.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Mountain Protocol launches USDM cross-chain native bridging with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chainlink?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@chainlink<\/a>&#39;s CCIP, simplifying transfers and unifying liquidity across multiple blockchains while ensuring security.<\/p>\n<p>You can now move your USDM across chains via <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KBqYH5C2dx\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/t.co\/KBqYH5C2dx<\/a> or via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/xswap_link?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@xswap_link<\/a>&#39;s app.\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/X1Kx0ctp6k\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/X1Kx0ctp6k<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Mountain Protocol (@MountainUSDM) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MountainUSDM\/status\/1846944446379692048?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">October 17, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The integration of Chainlink CCIP also brings additional benefits for USDM users, especially in the DeFi sector.
